Chairman Mao and Premier Chou have learned
of President Nixon's expressed desire to visit China
again. The Chinese Government welcomes the President
to revisit China at an appropriate time.

The Chinese side has learned of the U.S. side's tentative
thinking on the settlement of the Cluestion of Cambodia.
Just as Premier Chou pointed out to Ambassador Bruce, in
settling the Cambodian ql,.estion, all.parties concerned
should respect Cambodia's sovereignty. It is impossible
for the Chinese side to conduct any talks with the United
States in place of the Cambodian side. The Cambodian question
an only be settled through direct negotiations between the
U.S. side and the Royal Government of National Union of
Cambodia led by Samdech Norodom Sihanouk. The Chinese side
can communicate the U.S. tentative thinking to the Cambodian
side but as Samdech Sihanouk is still visiting Africa and
Europe, it is inconveni;Ent for us to contact him through
diplomatic channels. For the sake of accuracy, the Chinese
side would like to repeat the U.S. tentative thinking as
follows: "The United States is prepared to stop its bombing
in Cambodia. It is prepared to withdraw the military advisory
groups it has there. It is prepared to arrange for the
withdrawal of Lon Nol for medical treatment in the United
States. In return, it would like a cease-fire, if necessary
for 90 days, a negotiation between the Sihanouk group and the
remainder of the Lon Nol group. While this negotiation is
going on in Cambodia, the United States would authorize some
discussions between the staff of Ambassador Bruce and the
subordinates of Prince Sihanouk in Peking. And when this
process is completed in some months, the U.S. would not

oppose the return of Prince Sihanouk to Cambodia. But it
Is a process that has to extend over some time." If there
are any inaccuracies in the above, it is expected that
the U.S. side will provide corrections.
